The Moonlight Out .

A jolly party left yesterday afternoon
from the establishment of S. P. Teas
del, the popular merchant, for a
trip to Calder's, frst-class transport
alton having been generously provided
for the employees and their families,
the whole numbering nearly $50. includ-
ing few invited guests. The drive to
the farm was enjoyed immensely, the
roads south of the city being skirted
by continuous fields of wheat,
barley, oats, etc., and other field pro-
ducts. On arrival, the company was
courteously received by Mr.. Calder, the
proprietor of this popular resort. and the
visitors were kindly invited to make use
of the various means of amusement
provided for them. The company soon
were enjoying themselves at boating,
base ball, ETC., while the younger MEM
bers patronized the swings and round
about. The grounds were in fine con-
dition for walking. promenadlng or
playing games. There being no
particular restriction on the boating
on this occasion, everybody took
advantage of the opportunity and en-
loved themselves hugely on the lake.
The company returned home by moon
light. all being satisfied with their trip,
and thankful for the privilege OF spend
ing a few hours in innocent recrt at'J.
away from business and Its cares.

Virgiuian Democrats.

ROANOKE, Va, August 4.-The Dem
ocratlc State convention assembled 2,
noon. Chairman Barber, of the State
executive committee, called the con-
vention to order. After loud calls,
Barber arose and addressed the con-
venlion. He said the calling of a
Democratic convention was always in
order IN the state, but there was great
opposition to this. But it was too OBJ
vious that convention was necessary
on account of the momentous cues
tons involved. He said the question
before Virginia was the division of
opinion on the debt question, which
was the greatest party question that
presented itself. He said the difference
of opinion could be better determined
in the party, and counselled
harmony and a dispassionate discus
sion of all issues involved.
He said the delegates present were
fected the sentiments of the people.
Far better would it be that any differ
ence of opinion be discovered now,
rather than after the election. He, for
one, as chairman of the Democratic
State Committee, was not willing to
take the responsibility, under the cir
cnmstances, of conducting campaign
of so much Importance without a con-
yention. He eulogiz9d President Cleve-
land, and said he was the best President
we had had for quarter of century.
His speech was loudly cheered. After
quiet was restored, Barbour nominated
Samuel II. Motif, of Rockingham, for
temporary chairman. Motif, upon
taking the chair, eulOgized the admin
istration of President Cleveland, and
the cheers were so great that the
speaker was interrupted for several
minutes. He created the greatest en-
thusiasm when he said Cleveland's ad-
ministration was the most American
and the most honest the country had
had during the last half a century.
iohu Bell Bigger was chosen secretary
and the convention temporarily adj
lourned
